Her eyes fell to the floor as she spoke. "I hear you," she whispered. "We don't have a choice. We still need to do it."
I let out a nervous chuckle, but she just scowled.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to make light of the situation," I said, holding up my hands. "I just think it's funny how things have turned out."
"You find this funny?" she snapped, her frown deepening.
"No, no!" I said quickly.
"So, what do you mean?" she interrupted, pouting her lip.
"I mean that we have no choice but to follow plan B," I said.
"Plan B?" she asked, tilting her head to the side.
"Yes," I replied, nodding.
"Hmm... So, what's this so-called plan B all about?" she asked.
"We have to pretend like we had sex!" I said, and her eyes grew wide.
"What if they notice we lied and faked the whole thing?" she asked.
"There's no way they'll find out since neither of us will tell them. Or are you suggesting they'll follow us to the same room where we're having sex?" I asked, smirking.
She turned nervous and looked down at her feet, trying hard not to laugh. "I guess you're right."
"By the way, I'm not sure if the trainer will be able to make it today because they think we're having sex tonight," I said.
"Oh, that," she said, scratching the back of her head. "Laura already told me that he won't be coming tonight because of tonight's copulation."
"Hmm, I guess that's why she came here in the first place?" I asked, and Vivian nodded.
"What else did your mother say?" I asked. "I hope she didn't make you uncomfortable?"
"Not at all," Vivian replied. "She didn't say or do anything much. She just relayed the message, and by the way, she was the one who informed me that you were in a meeting with the elders. She already knew what the meeting was about."
"That's quite astute of her," I said.
Vivian laughed softly, and I yawned. "I can see you're trying to swallow me," she laughed, placing her hand over her mouth.
"I'm just tired and sleepy, that's all. Gosh, I don't feel like going back to that office even though there's so much work to do," I said, licking my bottom lip.
I sighed and rubbed the side of my face. "I wouldn't recommend you working so hard and depriving yourself of rest. Why don't you get a little sleep first before going back to the office?" she suggested, concern on her face.
"You're right, I should go to my room and get a little nap. Bye," I said softly and tried to leave, but she grabbed my shirt.
